The Essence of all Wisdom - Short Version!

Version 1:
The infinite variety of creation is the expression of one common essence.
Version 2:
The essence of all and everything is ‘being’; pure existence, pure intelligence.
Version 3:
Being is conscious of itself. It is awareness, the state of pure consciousness.
Version 4:
Being, intelligence or consciousness though completely abstract, is absolutely real.
Version 5:
Consciousness is omnipresent. By and out of itself it creates the manifest universe.
Version 6:
Consciousness is that, which by religions is called God, Allah, Shiva, Brahman, etc.
Version 7:
There is only one consciousness in the entire universe. Who’s consciousness is that? Our consciousness. Consciousness is the Self of all creatures.
Version 8:
Consciousness can be compared to an unbounded ocean. The ever changing phenomena in the universe can be compared to the restless waves of the ocean.
Version 9:
Every object and every living creature is a manifestation of the field of consciousness. Just as every wave on the ocean is an expression of the ocean.
Version 10:
We human beings are remarkable manifestations of consciousness, in the sense that we have the (latent) ability to become aware of our source and essence.
Version 11:
As soon as we become aware of our essence, we realize that we have become aware of the essence of everything, since there is only one essence.
Version 12:
Through the daily practice of silence exercises we become familiar with that level in ourselves that is abstract and cosmic. This makes us psychologically mature.
Version 13:
Psychological maturity is traditionally called ’enlightenment’. But now we have demystified this notion! It is the natural state in which love and wisdom prevail.
Version 14:
When more people become psychologically mature, then an influence of peace, harmony and enlightenment is generated in society and in the world as a whole.
Version 15:
Psychological maturity (cosmic consciousness) means that we activate the Cosmic Laws on earth. In ancient words: Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven”.
Version 16:
Problems, conflicts, wars, destruction of natural resources, etc. are the natural effect of living in a state of psychological immaturity: a sub-human level.
Version 17:
The war against the thousand and one deplorable situations in the world is in itself a symptom of a lack of psychological maturity.
Version 18:
The consciousness paradigm, described here, is the common reference frame for all sciences and religions: By a consciousness-transformation, and thus adopting this universal paradigm, we will be able to make life on earth agreeable to everyone.
